How will FIRST fill these super regionals if indeed we can expect to see them in 08? The New England area already has enough of a drain with three regionals, how do they expect to fill a CT super regional, while still having teams for Boston, BAE, and even the New York regionals? Will smaller regionals be forced to shut down so they can fill up a super regional?

As to main question, I also heard about the possibility of UTC being 2 fields. However, is it a smart idea to have a super regional in both NYC and CT? Where are all those teams going to come from? Similar to what Dan said, how would awards work, would there be awards per division, or just awards per event?

As to what Tom said, and what was said at kickoff about FIRST being on the breaking point, perhaps it is time FIRST revamped the event system structure. Others have before suggested in other threads that FIRST switch to a regional (currently existing), then super regional (perhaps one per geographical region), then CMP qualifying system.
